Pervasive story in that area indicates there may have been a flood of epic proportions.

A flood of epic proportions. Enough to cover Australia, Nepal and the Andes all at the same time? Or something local that looks really big to those effected like the floods along the Missouri and Mississippi every few years?

Hello,

I think you'll find very few Mopologists that believe in a global flood.

A local flood theory destroys the story of Noah and the flood. The story is so dependent on a global flood, as is things like the Book of Mormon

Hello,

I understand that. Are there any prominent Mopologists that advocate a global flood through their Mopologia?
